Curious what people's age ranges for dating are. There's the classic "half your age plus seven" rule, but wondering if that's actually followed.

Please comment below with your age, gender, and range.

24M, 21-28. I think as I approach edge cases (21, 27-28) the standards go up

I only find really good dates with 22/23 year olds, which I guess is backed by the evidence in this thread lol

As a single 37F, my biggest dating regret is not being open to guys in their 30s when I was in my 20s, and then not open to guys in their 40s until I hit 35. I was dating the wrong age group for all those years and am now single not by choice. I’m now trying to warm up to the idea of 49+

I am 32M, my age range is legal + maturity. Which creates a soft floor around 25 maybe, but there are outliers.

27, F, 26-34. But in actuality I usually date +/-1. I’ve always been creeped out by older guys wanting to date women way younger than them, so I avoid it.

Hey team! I've been thinking about what success would mean in terms of this platform and general inclusion in the team. These are some of my thoughts:

1. Frequency of positive engagements (positive in a productive, constructive sense)
2. Increasing numbers of people engaging in each topic as they get more comfortable using the tool and airing their opinions
3. Some measure outside the app of team engagement in day to day interactions (changes in psychological safety)

35F divorced with a kid. I think I will never get remarried or in a serious relationship again. Lots of men don't like dating women with children. At my age either the guys are past their prime, divorced/ing and have to provide half their income to their first wife. Many with kids live on the same street as their ex wives so they can be close to their child. I'm not comfortable dating guys like that.

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
